Abstract excerpt
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is an indirect alkylating agent that has greater cancer potency in the mouse than in the rat. The purpose of the present study was to compare the mutagenic potency of BD at the hprt locus of T-lymphocytes of exposed mice and rats and to determine whether mutations induced in this marker gene can be used as a quantitative indicator for species differences in susceptibility to cancer. To this...
